Re: What do you guys \"read\"?
I don't think I note as many specific things as some of the others mentioned, what I really like to do is note anything which seems unusual or exploitable.
Typically like to note their style in the first line of the read.
"LAG/LP/etc - cc's 2 pf a lot".
Then move to specific examples where they were too passive or aggressive:
"On turn/rivel almost always bets when checked to" - helps to set up a c/r against these type of players.
"Called f/t/r with bp / pp lower than board" - Don't try to push these people off the hand with UI overcards.
And always like to note if they 3bet/cap on turn/river with out the nuts or even close to and what they were betting with - these are the people you can win big pots from - "Capped on river with 2 pair on 4 to flush board".
Many people call down with weak draws but I like to note who is raising with them. They can be 3-bet / isolated on the flop when they raise their backdoor draws / bottom pairs.
Like to note what they are willing to c/r with and especially if they will bluff like this - "c/r bluff on turn with UI K7o" - this read is extremly helpful, as most c/r except against habitual bluffers, are scary.
And finally like to note their blind and position play; will they limp first in from LP or are aware of position? Do they defend their blinds too much / not enough?
I'm sure there is more but, mostly this is what I am doing currently when 3-tabling 6max. In general I like to note things which I deem unusual, which would make me deviate from a so called standard play.
